Overview
Runs a WebSocket server in Lua that the Claude Code CLI discovers through a lock file in ~/.claude/ide, using the same MCP variant as the VS Code extension. It opens Claude in a split terminal, sends selections and files as context, and shows proposed edits as native Neovim diffs you accept with :w or reject with :q. Marked beta; requires Neovim 0.8+ and the Claude Code CLI.
Who it is for: Neovim users who run Claude Code and want editor integration
Strengths
- Pure Lua on vim.loop; the only listed plugin dependency is snacks.nvim for terminal support
- Proposed edits open as native Neovim diffs, editable before accepting; vertical, horizontal or unified layouts
- Sends visual selections, buffers and file-tree entries (nvim-tree, neo-tree, oil, mini.files) as context
- Exposes User autocmds for send and diff lifecycle, plus PROTOCOL.md documenting the protocol
Weaknesses
- Tied to Claude Code CLI; no other assistants or model providers are supported
- README labels status as beta; last release is 2025-09-16
- Protocol was reverse-engineered, so upstream CLI changes can break compatibility
- :ClaudeCodeSendText and focus_after_send only work with native/snacks terminal providers
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Neovim >= 0.8.0, Claude Code CLI, folke/snacks.nvim
- Models: Claude (via Claude Code CLI)
